Roots heights N(i) Helgasson has in his table for the Cartan roots a(i): delta(n)==Sum[N(i)*a(i),{i,1,n}] h(n)=row sum=Sum[N(i),{i,1,n}] What I found was that my dimension ratio: Dimgroup/DimCartan=h(n )+2 which is not in any of my books. Since exponent sum: Dimgroup=Sum[2*m(i)+1,{i,1,n}] That gives a relationship of sorts between the Poincaré polynomials and the Cartan roots systems: Sum[2*m(i)+1,{i,1,n}]/n=Sum[N(i),{i,1,n}]+2 Table[Apply[Plus, a[n]], {n, 1, 6}] {1, 5, 11, 11, 17, 29} A118889: Table[Apply[Plus, a[n]] + 2, {n, 1, 6}] {3, 7, 13, 13, 19, 31}
